If I had to limit my photography to just one subject, it would have to be little girls with puppies or little girls with huge dogs. As you can imagine, finding the right dog and the perfect child who has clothes to match a preconceived notion of how the portrait should look isn’t easy. In fact, it’s very difficult. With AI, however, anything is possible. It may take a few tries, but with the right prompts and some patience, the results are well worth the effort. The dog in this image is a great Pyrenees; I’ve had three dogs of this breed in my life, and I love these gentle giants. They are great with kids, and if you look online for dog bites per breed, they are very close to the bottom of the list. They have an intimidating bark, but their disposition is very sweet and very protective. What I love about this image is how the dog is looking lovingly at their little girl. The prompts I used for this AI image were: “photo realistic four year old little girl dressed in a stylish winter coat wearing a winter hat seen from behind petting a huge white great Pyrenees dog in a wintry environment, with the dog looking down at the little girl –ar 2:3”.

Jim - Rosemary, This AI dog looks very much like Princey when he has his full coat of hair. For the summer, Princey gets a haircut because the heat and humidity here is tough on large dogs with thick hair. Great Pyrenees dogs have an undercoat which doubles their coats. Some people brush out this undercoat of, essentially, wool, and spin it into. yarn to make garments.
